Serena Chen tucked into her seafood nasi lemak on her flight home to Australia from Singapore last week, only to be confronted by the dead bug.
The 28-year-old university research assistant alerted crew and asked for her money back. She claims she was told she would have to apply online for a refund and was offered a replacement meal.
After another complaint, she received a refund, but took the problem to the head office of the budget airline.
